Talk:John Atkinson Grimshaw

Needs a total rewrite.

The sources used, particularly in the opening are very poor indeed, including several commercial gallery websites which have no legitimacy as sources at all. Numerous claims are unsubstantiated - the discussion on the camera obscura for example - and it appears to be written more as a fan page than a serious article on the artist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.6.190.86 (talk) 15:27, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

He's good.

Maybe he was nerd with ugly beard, but paintings still great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.112.2.146 (talk) 19:38, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Work

The last portion of this section is more an appreciation with no citations. Chemical Engineer (talk) 17:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

I have added a citation for the comments on "Shipping on the Clyde". I think that most or all of the "appreciation" now has sources cited. Blackwood (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Fantasy artist?

I note that this article is categorised as "British fantasy artists", which surprises me, since he painted naturalistic scenes, and the article does not use the word, "fantasy" or "fantastic". The WP Fantasy art article says that fantasy art includes mythical and other unreal subjects. Am I missing something here? I have not deleted the category from the article, because maybe he did do fantasy art, and I just haven't seen it? Storye book (talk) 09:39, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
